Somewhere On The Golden Coast

The Henry Clay People Somewhere On The Golden Coast Lyrics
1.Nobody Taught Us To Quit


2.Working Part Time (2010 Version)

We were working part time all the time
We were banking on the kindness of strangers and loved ones
And those that fall between
To give us everything we need
Cos we need everything

It was a sing-a-long, it was inside of us
Oh, oh, oh, it was a mattress in the bed where we slept
Straight into death
How we slept

Well you like things that shine
And there were rivers and evergreens

And I, I was fine
I was broke but still alive
I was fine
We got drunk and called in sick when we felt like it

We were working part time all the time
Then things got steady, we grew cautious
We were trying just to gain some experience
For whatever was coming next
For whatever was coming next

Then every motive came into question
You kids have seen this all before
You were watching TV and you were having some conversation
About about about about
All those things that you might take
If there weren't any more laws to break

Well you like things that shine but cannot breathe
And I, I was fine
I was broke but still alive
I was fine
We got drunk and called in sick when we felt like it

We got drunk and called in sick
Oh we got drunk and called in sick


3.Keep Your Eyes Closed

You fell in love and you fell like a brick
You felt the summer come to an end so bring it back again
And keep your eyes closed
And if you think that there is peace in growing old
Then you're just repeating what you were told
Keep your eyes closed
Keep your eyes closed tight tight tight tight tight
So you will never forget

Half my life was half your life
That's all I needed to know tonight
We'll move slowly
And hardly even speak

Was it something that I said
Or was it something that you read in order to repeat
That never bothered me
Well if your fancy school put you back into debt
I'll sell my favorite guitar so you can pay your rent

Keep your eyes closed
Keep your eyes closed tight
So you will never forget

Half my life was half your life
That's all I needed to know tonight
Move slowly

(You wanna make some plans)
Put a ring around your finger
(You wanna make some plans)
You said nothing lasts forever
(You wanna make some plans)
Let's just spend the night together
(You wanna make some plans)

Move slowly
I can hardly even speak


4.The Digital Kid


5.Slow Burn

We were waiting for an accident
To make this make any sense
So we could forget our heads
So we can forget our heads
You said maybe we're just born to sweat
Maybe we were just born to sweat
So we can forget our heads

We can't fake the fireworks
You remember how your fire works
Well, I don't remember but I will learn
We prefer the slow burn

Yeah if all the kids are idiots
Well tell me what does that mean for us
Maybe we can get carried away
Maybe you can find someone who's got nothing smart to say
If you say it like you mean it
If you say it like you mean it
Then I will follow you until the end

But I won't be your first
You remember how your fire works
Well, I don't remember but I will learn
We prefer the slow burn

Our time was up and the front door shut
Now we really need to run to sweat
Our brains are up our heads

You can't fake the teenage her
You remember but you think it's worse now
I don't remember but I will learn
We prefer the slow burn


6.End Of An Empire

It was the end of an empire
Well maybe we should celebrate
Cut your losses kids
You've got no more time to waste
Ten of us just sat there
Five of us are being replaced
The two of us, we should stick together
We got no more time to waste

Ahh, I see one golden opportunity
And you, you believe at heart you're a dying breed
Baby we need
We need nothing but each other
Except for maybe some couch for us to sleep

It was the end of an empire
I've got nothing but free time to kill so I will
Ten of us just sat there
Five of us escaped
The two of us, we should stick together
We got no more time to waste

Ahh, I see one golden opportunity
And you, you believe at heart you're a dying breed
Baby we need
We need nothing but each other
Except for maybe some couch for us to sleep

We don't need a future
It was gonna happen anyway
Maybe if we can stick together, together
It was the end of an empire oh yes it was

Ahh, I see one golden opportunity
And you, you believe at heart you're a dying breed
Baby we need
We need nothing but each other
We need nothing but each other
We need nothing but each other
Except for maybe some couch
Except for maybe some couch
For us to sleep


7.This Ain't A Scene (2010 Version)

We had dreams, they were better off dreams
So you kept them away from me
But the time will come, yes, the time will come and we'll need
them
This ain't a scene, it's just a generation caught in between
It's just a generation caught in between
You said 'Someday they'll need us'

This ain't a scene, it's just a place to be
We won't be settled down until we've seen everything
That we've payed to see
Well, I, I can't bank, I'm somebody's mind to change
I want to know right now how long you've spent being awake

Well, I was wiping all the sleep from my eyes
And you, you were talking about some other time
That you wish you could've been alive
This ain't a scene, it's just a place to be
This ain't a scene, it's just a place for you and me and we can
meet

You said 'I, I can't bank, I'm somebody's mind to change,
I need to know right now how long you've spent being awake'
But, before you invest, oh you should find a safer bet
And don't you celebrate now because you haven't found him yet

You said 'Bury a hole*, it was better buried alive
Oh, we'll call you on the phone, to see if you made it back
alive
Oh, well I, I can't bank, I'm somebody's mind to change
I need to know right now how long you've spent being awake
I need to know right now.


8.A Temporary Fix

You're damaged goods
We are damaged but we're still good
I know I'm waiting longer than I should
To come around

There's something you like
There's something you like about the Fourth of July
Let's meet back then and see if time will change our mind
Will change our mind

If you're leaving
It's just a temporary fix
To a love that we just can't kick

Now that we are a little older since the last time
A little older since the last time I suppose we'll know what's
right
We'll change our mind

If you're leaving
It's just a temporary fix
To a love that we just can't kick

We were halfway between a comeback and a fight
But nothing's ever felt so right
Nothing's ever felt so right


9.Saturday Night

Well if you are a dreamer you better find a new dream
One generation under the ground
One generation caught in between
Oh we were dying for a Saturday night
So won't you make us feel like we were alive

My head was buzzing with a sound that was slipping away
Your generation came to be found
Your generation came too late
And if your fun times should come to an end
Well don't you worry cos they'll be coming back again
I said don't be afraid if you're fun times should come to an end

And we were dying for a Saturday night
So won't you make us feel like we were alive
And won't you take us to some place that we can find
On a Saturday night


10.Your Famous Friends


11.Two Lives At The End Of The Night

How soon we forget
All the ways we try
To never say goodbye
And now we fold at the first sign
We said we'd never regret
People get on with their lives
You've got yours and I have mine
Now we fold at the first sign

I would pay to hear you say
I've never never never made the same mistake
Just two lives at the end of the night

Don't you listen
He will just fill your head with cement
And candy canes and cigarettes
So find a new one or a second chance

I would pay to hear you say
I've never never never made the same mistake
Just two lives at the end of the night

One of us is bound to change
But you were always looking for a place to hide
Just two lives at the end of the night
At the end of the night
